The Korean Olympic team defeated Uzbekistan at the 18th ASIAD. This time, the result of the match was no different.
The stronger Korean Olympic team took control of the game right from the opening whistle. They even had an early advantage when they opened the scoring in the 4th minute. Jeong Woo-jeong scored after a smart free kick arrangement by his teammate.
The loss forced Uzbekistan Olympic to push up their formation. However, Korea Olympic easily neutralized the attacks of the white team. Physical strength and the ability to apply pressure in sync are the strengths of the Korean players.
South Korea Olympic team played overwhelmingly against Uzbekistan.
However, Uzbekistan Olympic surprisingly equalized. In the 26th minute, they were awarded a free kick. Jasurbek fired a shot that hit the Korean defender. The ball changed direction, leaving goalkeeper Lee Gwang-yeon helpless.
The 1-1 score made the Uzbekistan players more excited, but they were quickly doused with cold water just over 10 minutes later. In the 38th minute, the two white-shirted defenders did not understand each other in a defensive situation and Jeong Woo-jeong seized the opportunity to regain the lead.
In the second half, coach Hwang Sun-hong asked his players to play solidly and slow down the pace of the match. At times, the red team even dropped their formation to strengthen their defense. Therefore, Uzbekistan had a hard time finding a way into goalkeeper Lee Gwang-yeon's goal.
The chances for the Central Asian team became even more slim when Abdurauf Buriev received a red card in the 73rd minute. He committed a dangerous foul right outside the penalty area. South Korea easily controlled the game, and even had the chance to increase the gap if their strikers were more careful.
The Korean Olympic team won 2-1, qualifying for the final. They will meet the Japanese Olympic team, who defeated the Hong Kong Olympic team (China) in the other semi-final. The final will take place at 7pm on October 7.
